• " the engineer’s job is to give them room to work on their own and to build the specs, tests, and merge gates that decide when that work is correct."

  I mean that's a job, but in many orgs it's been done by (cheaper) non-engineers (business analysts, QA professionals) for decades. So what does an engineer do?

• im mostly on cloudflare and wrangler dev/miniflare already gives you local workers, d1, r2 etc, but its hand built. the “agents build it and verify against the real service” approach seems like the actual new thing here. wonder if cf does something similar
